From living under a bridge to building a community
“If I can do this, anyone can do this.”
Fern House first helped me make connections to gain employment during a tough time to find a job. Second they taught me how to apply the recovery principles into everyday life; then without a lot of effort from me, life got so much better.
It got so good, I went back to school to learn how to do similar work and as that journey began to open up, so did my growth opportunities. I came back to work at Fern House in 2012 and took over as Executive Director in 2014 where I try to impart the same structure and discipline Fern House gave me to the next generation of people that need our help.
